Back to Lichess as VariantsChris, this time with a video about the Chess Variant King of the Hill. There is only one difference to normal chess rules: You win if your king reaches a square in the center. I discuss two games played on Lichess vs IM gsvc and vs CM chessflash 88 (Both of them “berserked”, i.e., decided to half their thinking to 1.5 minutes).
